Dermatology Tips

Tip 1:

Resist that urge to pop your pimples. The trauma from popping pimples can lead to worsened redness and swelling and in some cases can cause scarring.

Tip 2:

Even if you don’t feel “hot” you are still getting harmful UV rays while outside. Overcast days are infamous for causing bad burns because sunscreen is frequently forgotten and the cooler weather keeps us outside for longer.

Tip 3:

Make applying sunscreen a part of your daily morning routine. A daily moisturizer containing sunscreen helps to keep your skin from getting dry while at the same time combating premature aging and skin cancer development.
